I am as you know fiercely proud of where I come from...My routes are working class...I am who I am...was shaped by the place and the era I grew up
Below You will find the link to the song..performed by the magnificent Pulp..my teenage idols...it was the anthem we lived by
Please use it as your inspiration
Rules.....do not even bother to insult my birthplace..or the people who live there.. believe me you will wish you never had.
